If sales ever drop, they have it as a readily available trump card. Obviousy sales haven't even been close to dropping at this point. As far as the rest of the Wii's lineup, most of the sequels to the GC's best selling games have yet to be released. Mario Kart DD and Super Smash Bros. Melee were the two best selling GC games and both of them are being released next year. Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Mario Basebal, and Kirby all have games set for release next year as well. Nintendo also has Wii Fit, Wii Music, Wii Chess, massive amounts of Wii Ware games, and Disaster: Day of Crisis as new IPs. That's not counting anything unannounced. From third parties they have Tales of Symphonia: KoR, Baten Kaitos 3, Oboro Muramasa, Fragile, Okami, Harvest Moon, Monster Hunter 3, King Story, FFCC:TCB, No More Heroes, Monster Lab, Wii Ware games like FFCC:TYKatPL, and more. Now, I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest of comparing the lineup to the PS3, as I think the PS3 has an excellent lineup next year as well, but I do want to compare the Wii's library next year to the Wii's library this year. Next year its library is much much stronger than it was this year both in 3rd party and 1st party release lists. I don't really understand why you think the Wii will "run out" of games. What do you think the developers of Super Mario Galaxy did when they finished the game? Start work on Wii Music? Of course not, they are Nintendo strongest core game development studio. Nintendo only has 1 studio making the "Wii series" games out of their 20 some studios and subsidiaries. The 20 some other studios are already working on their next big game. Just as Retro said they started 2 new Wii projects after Metroid Prime 3 and Camelot is working on a Wii RPG. Just as Aonuma and the Twilight Princess team are already hard at work on the first ground up Wii Zelda game as they said. Nintendo isn't just going to stop making games for your convenience. The PS3 absolutely has an incredible lineup next year, and it's an amazing system that should have great sales next year in both software and hardware, but to think that the Wii is just going to die out and drop off at your whim is simply ignorant. |
I didn't say the Wii was going to up and die. I said it was running out of its high-end titles. Mario Kart Wii and Brawl are the only two left. You said it yourself that those two sold the most on the gamecube.
As for the rest of my thinking, go ask the Gamecube Kirby game why I think the way I do.
